PREAMBLE AND PLATFORM
Union Labor Party.


PREAMBLE.
The delegates OF various industrial and re.
form political organizations have assembled
from thirty-two States and territories on this
anniversary Of the birth Of ssthe Father of his
Country" to view the situation Of public affairs
and advise proper action. general discomfort
prevails on the part Of the wealth-producers.
Farmers are suffering from = poverty which has
forced most Of them to mortgage their estates
and prices OF products are 10 low n to offer no
relief except through bankruptcy. Laborerr
are sinking into greater and greater dependence,
strikes are resorted to without bringing relief.
because Of the inability OF employers in many
cases to pay living wages, while more and more
are being driven into the streets. Business men
find collections almost impossible. Meanwhile
hundreds Of millions Of idle public money which
is needed for relief is locked up in the United
States Treasury IN grim mockcry OF the distress.
Land monopoly hourishes ~ never before and
more and more owners Of the soil ere daily be-
coming tenants. Great transportation corpora
tons still succeed in extorting their profits mp
on watered stock through unjust charges. The
United States Senate has become an open scan
DIAL, its seats being purchased by the rich in de-
fance OF the popular will. A trifing fisheries
dispute lie sliced upon as an excuse for sqnan-
dering public money upon unnecessary military
preparations which are designed to breed spirit
Of war, to ape European dcspotism and to empty
the Treasury without paying the public debt.
Under there and other alarming conditions, we
appeal 20 the people of this whole country to
come out Of old party organizations, whose in
difference to the public welfare Is responsiblelfoi
this distress, and TO help ne to organize new
political party. not sectional but national, to be
known ~ the UNION LABOR party: whose object
shall be to repeal all class laws in favor of the
rich and to relieve the distress of our industries
by establishing the following prnciples:-

An Explanation.

Col. Ingersoll was at dinner the
other day where New-Yorker, who
has wide reputation rs an after-dinner
speaker, was somewhat disappointing
to the guests. Col. Ingersoll had a
neighbor at the table who leaned over
and said: Colonel, how in the world
did Blank come to have such a reputa-
ton as an after-linner speaker? 1t

the few moments chat in some attIac-
tive home, where beauty, music, and
flowers give him the needed poetry to
mate with his prosaic cares.

guns could not be depressed to bear on

Immediately upon the cessation of the

This iced would supply an enor, nous excess of hutritive elements above those required for maintain ance, giving four and half times as much alhuminoids, three times as much carbo- hNdrateS, and eight times as much lat as would be re- quired far a COW in ordinary milk.

Level and Hill Country.

EENGt FttEG tsa' SSN'''1 J
 1 If has hrcn for many years a diSpuied question says tine Ms .ouri R publican, whether level or hill elliure was better for growing crops. but as there are so many differences in soil while the modes reonired for crops of all kinds are unlike. the experience of each r,rmar on his own soil can alone decide the matter. The fact Is that under certain conditions, either mode may be better than the other. On soils that are damp with subsoils composed oi stun clay the hilling system may per haps be preferable; but where ,be soil is well underdramed or the ground rolling, the level sys- fem may be the more suitable Cultivation of the soil is Intended not onlN to clear of the grass and weeds, but also to assist the grow ing plants to obtain and retam the oreatest amount of heat and mois. tnre. as well as to afford more leed to the roots. Something also de- bends upon the kind ot manure and fertilizer used, and upon the quantity applied. In an eNperl ment tried by an agricultural jour nal, potatoes were grown at the rate of 1000 bushels per acre, bu' the fertilizer used was in sufficient quantity to supply al! the require mepts of the crop. The level cul tiyation was practiced Tn growing the crop, and ii is probable that complete failure would have beer the result had the milling system been followed, for the reason tha in order to dissolve so large al amount of mineral fertilizer plenty of moisture was necessary, whlcf was retained by the field beins level. By cultivating the entrt service the fine earth served as covering or mulch, thereby pre- venting evaporation, as capillary attraction drew the moisture Ill from below; the connection, how ever being broken where the sol was stirred Hill cultivation would not only have required th' hoe to d certain extent, but would have caused the exposure of lar ger surface 10 the air, producing greater evaporation. Corn grow CTS are aware that the roots 0 growing corn extend in every dl rection and feed as near the sur face as possible, and for this reas on many farmers check their corr in the rows and cultivate in botl directions, the desire being not t' stir the soil deeply, but to kecl the surface fine. But on stiff, we soil hill cultivation IS sometimes necessary, or the young corn VII be injured from heavy rains.
